Personally, I don't want Nintendo to get more into film because they're already looking like Disney

I can't see a Smash movie happen. Putting too many characters from a game series with large rosters can be problematic and it could have the quality of fan fiction writing.

Best to stick with games.

Does Nintendo even realize the amount of money they'd make especially given Smash's popularity?

Especially since Ultimate just surpassed Street Fighter for most sales for a fighting game.

I dare anyone jonesing for a Smash movie to sit down and really, really try to write a good plot with all these main characters and worlds. Not a coherent plot (which would be hard enough) but a solid, engaging plot that doesn’t become a shambling mess the moment main character #54 is introduced.

You're saying it like fanfiction is a good thing.
It can be good or bad, like any fiction.

A lot of professional writers print absolute garbage and a lot of fanfic authors write incredibly well-written stories. Sturgeon's Law applies either way.

You don’t make every character a main one. The team up is between the main protagonists. There’s a reason Rhodes wasn’t in the first Avengers movie.

"unfortunately, the smash bros movie all just fell apart the moment mr game and watch was introduced and you could only see him fully-dimensionally in half his shots"

You can make a decent movie with just Smash 64's roster but you're still going to get issues with screen time and character development/interactions.

If Smash should get a media adaptations, it should be a comic-strip like Fire Emblem Heroes got so you can just focus on who you like.

Here is the first trailer of Marvel Studio's Black Widow which is due out next year:


Its interesting to see the events of what Natasha was doing before the events of Infinity War and End Game.

I reckon Yelena (Florence Pugh's character) is going to be Natasha's successor.

Anyways, do you guys think Smash Ultimate will win anything out of the Games Awards which takes place this month?

I feel like a smash movie could potentially work, moreso if they made it a big series of movies like the mcu. I'm not sure about introducing 70+ characters all in one movie though.

I've been saying a Smash movie would be dumb af. Wouldn't even work if you made separate movies for almost each character, because you'd still have to establish some cohesion among the franchises for the story to make any sort of sense.

So, we now have an new official FNAF game. The game is supposed to be satire, but man.

Wait so are humans cartoony, realistic and scifi, realistic but fantasy or just nonexistent? These are the questions we must ask for a Smash Cinematic Universe

Humans adhere to the rules... of the universe... that... they come from... whichever... one... that...

Gwen you're making my head hurt.

Anyway dumbest thing about the idea of a Smash movie is that Subspace already gives us plenty of what people would want from such a production in the first place, which is these characters interacting outside of battle. I'd rather people push for more of that in future Smash entrees than for a movie that would have a limited run time and never be able to fully satisfy these desires.

My cat literally just stood up on his hind legs, and fell backwards. I think I broke him.
Sometimes my cat just jumps at the wall or attacks the table. They be like that

This is why we just need funny 4koma gags or whatever they're called

Smash would work better as a tv series or something

As a film, you'd have far too big a cast and fans of the various series would inevitably complain that their character didn't get enough screen time
